The Real Answer
Chapter 1287 The real answer
appeared, the Angel of the night!
Klein looked intently and found that Angel's appearance had not changed at all compared to the daytime, but his expression had changed a little. The peace and tranquility from the heart was replaced by a more acute emotion.
And this emotion was directly directed at Chick.
The latter immediately felt this change. She took two steps back nervously, away from Angel. Her blue gem-like eyes were full of panic, as if she had seen the nightmare that burned her to death in her dream.
"I, I'm going home first. See you tomorrow, Angel, and Mr. Moriarty."
She muttered incoherently, as if she didn't want the two to hear it, but just to give herself an excuse to leave.
Immediately, she turned around and ran away in the direction of the school, and almost instantly disappeared from Klein's sight.
She is the real "assassin"... Klein complained in his heart, turned around and looked at Angel, who had restrained his sharp aura and returned to the appearance he saw two nights ago. He asked in confusion:
"Do you feel any difference between you and a few minutes ago?"
"A few minutes ago?" Angel looked at him blankly, "No, I'm curious about why she was so scared... Did she really dream of me and I burned her to death at night?"
As he said that, Angel looked down at his body hidden in the shadow of the tall building because of the setting sun, as if he wanted to see if there was any difference between himself and a few minutes ago.
She didn't feel anything at all? But the cold gaze at that moment was definitely real, and the hatred hidden in it was also real... Combined with Chick's dream and her spiritual premonition of the god "Original Witch", it is not difficult to draw the truth of the matter... Klein did not think deeply about it, but took the opportunity to be alone and said:
"Angel, I want to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. If you have any misunderstandings, it is all my fault."
"Yesterday..."
Angel murmured, no longer checking the changes in himself, but staring deeply at Klein. After a moment, he shook his head and said:
"You don't seem to be lying, but your sudden change in attitude yesterday was not a disguise. I can see that."
Sure enough, this happened after I was "kicked" yesterday. Sherlock Moriarty, who followed his subconscious behavior, must have regarded her as an ordinary student, and the change in attitude before and after hurt Angel's heart... She could tell whether I was lying or not because of the "instigator"'s sensitivity to emotions and words?
Klein's thoughts raced, and he smiled apologetically, and continued:
"The person I was yesterday was not the real me."
Without waiting for Angel, whose expression became strange, to ask back, he continued:
"I remember that when I met you the night before yesterday, I mentioned a female name, Irene Watson. You didn't remember it at the time, right?"
"No." Angel admitted straightforwardly.
"Then, what about Zhou Mingrui?"
Klein asked, staring at Angel's face.
Sure enough, Angel's expression changed this time. She nodded slowly and replied:
"I seem to have some memory of this name deep in my mind, but it feels like it's in a dream, not someone I know in reality... Is he a celebrity?"
"No, he's just an ordinary person."
Klein replied with a smile, and the last question in his heart was answered.
He looked at the clock on the billboard on the street and found that it was time for the supermarket to close. He continued:
"The supermarket you want to go to will be renovated for more than a month starting tomorrow, so I won't persuade you not to drink that kind of beverage. Everything depends on your own heart."
After that, he shook the collar of his windbreaker, threw off the hem of his clothes, and turned to leave.
...
Looking at Sherlock Moriarty who strode away in a chic manner, Angel was at a loss.
She didn't understand why Mr. Moriarty, who was still taking her to skip classes yesterday morning and confirming that those "magic potions" were specially prepared for her, changed his attitude again and again, and said today that he would not continue to persuade her, as if he was two different people before and after.
Different people... Chick was worried about me at night. Just now, Moriarty also asked me if I felt different from before... Could he have multiple personalities and think that I was the same? Impossible
, absolutely impossible... This idea of "having two different selves" made Angel shake her head, as if to drive this idea out of her head.
But she thought of Moriarty's reminder just now. The supermarket will be renovated from tomorrow and will inevitably close. The way to get the subsequent "magic potion" by lottery with receipts will be interrupted.
In any case, get the "witch" first... She opened her mobile phone to check the time, and without hesitation found the business card of the taxi driver from yesterday and called the number on it.
Almost instantly, a taxi that came out of nowhere stopped beside her, with the window lowered, and a teasing tone came from the car:
"Madam, do you want to take a taxi?"
It was him... This is too coincidental... Angel didn't bother to greet, opened the car door and sat in the back seat, saying:
"Go to the supermarket from yesterday."
"No problem, sit tight!"
The young driver wearing a monocle made a salute gesture, stepped on the accelerator, and the overweight pressed Angel tightly into the back of the seat.
————
On the street, Klein walked towards his home under the bright neon lights.
But one of his historical pore images had "relayed" the spiritual line, allowing a flying bird to closely follow the taxi that Angel was riding in and observe the situation inside the vehicle.
Sure enough, when it was mentioned that the supermarket would take a long time to renovate, Angel couldn't help but rush there overnight... That taxi driver was obviously Amon, he didn't even pretend, even wearing a monocle in his dreams, I suspect that is the uniqueness of the "thief"... Klein muttered in his heart, constantly adjusting the positions of himself, the historical projection, and the secret doll so that they would not exceed his control.
He now had no intention of stopping Angel from getting the "witch" potion, but instead analyzed his previous suspicions and various conclusions in his mind.
"First of all, Angel in the daytime is herself, and Angel in the nighttime is also herself, not the negative side of the 'prime creator' as we previously guessed...
" "But there are indeed some differences between day and night. The one in the daytime is Angel Granger, and the one at night is the symbol of her 'mirror man' Angel Gray in the dream... No, the one in the daytime is Angel Granger in the mirror... Alas. "
Thinking of this, Klein sighed silently.
"The two consciousnesses share a body and are unaware of each other's existence. This represents the complete trust and mutual fusion between the original body and the person in the mirror. Only Chick, the 'original witch' who died in the battle because of Angel Gray's arrangement, has a keen awareness of this. Therefore, she is only close to Angel during the day, who contains the uniqueness of the witch, and keeps a distance from her at night. She even has a fear that she will be killed by her...
"This can be distinguished from the subtle differences in their memories. Angel during the day remembers Zhou Mingrui and dreams of his own battles in reality; at night, she only remembers Zhou Mingrui in the 'dream', that is, the future me who enters the real dream to fight Tianzun... and in her dreams, there is only the desperate doomsday, which is the fear deep in Angel Gray's heart.
"Adam and the goddess should have understood this. Adam didn't tell anyone about it because he was worried about being discovered by the consciousness of the 'prime creator'. Judging from His 'cowardly' behavior today, He was afraid of being kicked out of the dream and didn't want to hypnotize Angel. He tried to remind me, but was not very active... As for the goddess, the name 'Close Your Eyes Before Dark' is not just because He is a demon wolf...
"Then, there are two questions now.
"One is what role Amon played. Did He guide Angel to take the subsequent potion because of Adam's instructions, or did this strongest 'decryption scholar' see something wrong, but Adam gave Him absolute trust?
"Another question is, where is the 'prime creator'? Even Chick has his own symbol in the dream city, so He can't have no... Amon wants the 'man in the mirror' to appear in order to draw out the original consciousness? Did they choose the night specifically because Angel Gray is the 'real body', so there is a chance for a new man in the mirror to appear?"
With thoughts in his mind, Klein shuttled between buildings and also approached the supermarket where the "witch" potion was stored.
————
The taxi stopped suddenly. The young driver with black hair, black eyes and a broad forehead turned around and said gently:
"We're here."
Unfortunately, it was too late... Looking at the supermarket with a closed door, a renovation notice posted, and the "Intis Group" logo painted in the most conspicuous place, Angel sighed regretfully.
At this moment, the driver wearing a monocle stretched his head from the front seat and said with a smile on his lips:
"Want to sneak into that supermarket?"
Without waiting for Angel to answer, he handed over a hand, with a slender thumb and index finger holding an ancient brass key.
"This is a master key. If you really want to go in, take it, but don't say it was given to you by me."
The driver said, throwing the key on Angel's skirt.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The latter picked up this brass key that didn't look like it could open a modern door, and hurriedly thanked him.
But strangely, as soon as he picked it up, Angel had a feeling that he could use it to open all doors.
"No need to thank me, it's just after-sales service. Just remember to show mercy when you beat me up next time."
The young driver said, leaving Angel behind, stepped on the accelerator and left the street, and in an instant, he disappeared.
Strange man... Why did you say I would beat him up? Angel clenched the brass key, came to the closed door, tentatively put the key close to the huge door lock that didn't match at all, and subconsciously pressed the other hand on the door.
At the moment the key and the door lock touched, Angel lost his support and leaned forward, and felt that he had come from the street with lights to the dark inside of the supermarket. He
really came in... Looking at the key in his hand in surprise, Angel, with the help of dark vision, walked to the ticket redemption place with ease, and saw the empty counter and various "potions" on the shelves.
Among the hundreds of potions with different appearances and names, only two positions were empty. Without checking, Angel knew that the missing ones must be "Assassin" and "Instigator".
So, the adjacent bottle is... She walked around the counter, went to the shelf, and reached out to take the bottle of "magic potion" that could be held in one hand but seemed heavy.
On the bottle, there was a logo made up of a heart and two arcs passing through it, which seemed to represent the female symbol, and a cursive English word:
"Witch".
Five hundred years ago, this would have been a crime punishable by death... With a self-deprecating smile, Angel unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured the warm and sticky "magic potion" that was like blood into his throat without hesitation.

In the secret room under the "Church of Light", Adam, wearing a white robe and with blond hair and a golden beard, was sitting on a bench in the front row, quietly looking at the three-meter-tall female statue behind the altar.
Suddenly, this statue, which was as translucent as jade but showed all the beauty of women, burst into a light that seemed to contain all colors.
PS: Chapter 2, not at night.
(End of this chapterWhy is it a man?
Chapter 1288 Why is it a man?
The light emitted by the goddess statue, which looks exactly like Angel Granger, but lacks a truly lively expression on her face, has just left her body and disappeared around her as if she had entered another world. Only the lamps and glass surfaces illuminated by the dim candlelight reflect its signs of embracing all colors.
In the mirror world that overlaps with this area, the light that penetrates everything condenses into a human figure with only light and no entity.
As soon as it was formed, it resisted further changes, as if it was an unwilling accident to appear here, but its body was pulled by some kind of attraction and flew quickly to another location in the mirror world.
But its efforts were not in vain. Soon, a light that swallowed everything and created everything surged inside the human figure condensed by the light of all colors. This light almost instantly swallowed the original human figure, and then expanded outward for a circle, and then shrank and gathered in turn, forming a woman who was just over 1.7 meters tall, with long hair down to her waist and naked.
The golden light condensed into her blonde hair, and the depth of the mirror world turned into deep purple in her eyes. Her skin was as white as jade, and her waist and legs were graceful. Her expression was still a little dazed, but she looked at another place as if attracted by something, with expectation and desire in her eyes.
This "Angel Granger" followed the connection in mysticism and continued to move quickly in the direction where the light figure just flew. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the depths of the mirror world.
In the underground prayer hall of the "Church of Light", only the lightless altar and the empty stone platform were left. Adam, who was sitting on the bench, stood up slowly, with a smile that showed insight.

As the owner of "Source Castle" and a "secret servant" of Sequence 1, Klein naturally has a keen perception of the spirit world. After repeatedly entering and exiting the mirror world, he can master a certain "door" path power and can perceive that this special world is undergoing not-so-good changes.
Having experienced the battle where the "Original Witch" fell, he immediately thought of what happened at that time, and the changes that occurred in the entire mirror world when the "Primal Creator in the Mirror" and Angel began to merge.
"Is this the change that occurred after Angel took the "Witch" potion? The entire real dream is coming to an end... Because Angel and the person in the mirror have already merged, or in other words, she herself is the person in the mirror, so in the dream, there is no need to wait until the stage of the "Immortal" Witch. As long as she advances to Sequence 7 and creates her own person in the mirror, the "Primal Creator" can use this to achieve her own goals?
"As long as 'Original' merges with her mirror image in the dream, it will be equivalent to merging with Angel in reality. She can use the 'City of Disaster' to revive in reality... No, Tudor is still in the 'secret' of the goddess, and the positive side of the Creator has not yet been integrated, but the powerful aggregation ability may be able to 'attract' Him over..."
Klein's thoughts raced in his mind, and he immediately understood the current situation, but he always felt that the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Hidden Sage" and "Eternal Sun" controlled by Her, and even the several gods who entered the dream with him, were promoting this incident, rather than preventing Angel from being promoted to a "witch".
Since... In this way, I also believed in them once, not trusting the external gods and evil gods, but trusting Amanesis and Grisha who had already known the desperate future and made plans to change the world... Klein clenched and relaxed his hands, and decided to wait and see what would happen, rather than risk killing Angel who had just drunk the potion and was in the process of promotion, and "resetting" the entire dream.
Moreover, if I guessed correctly, Adam and Amon had asked Angel to take the "witch" potion at night... Feeling the power that was gradually recovering due to Angel's deepening understanding of supernatural powers, Klein's spirit entered the spiritual world, entered the "mirror world", and explored deep into it.
————
Angel Granger, with a dazzling light all over her body, giving people a feeling of both holiness and evil, and a lively but lacking depth in her expression, came to the depths of the mirror world.
Here, the "Mirror Man" created by the promotion of a "Witch" is rapidly taking shape.
This is different from the temporary mirror projection produced by everyone when looking in the mirror. It is another self created by the strong mental imprint left in the mirror world due to the influence of the potion when promoted.
It shows the image of the "Witch" before the promotion, and will increase in strength as the sequence of the original body is promoted. Finally, in the "Unforgettable" The "Old" witch stage merges with itself to a certain extent, allowing the witch to exist both in the mirror and in the real world.
Therefore, when a female assassin is promoted to a "witch", what is left behind will be a female "person in the mirror", which is exactly what the original creator in the mirror needs!
Thinking of this, a trace of longing appeared on "Angel's" beautiful face. She quickly flew towards the person in the mirror who had just been outlined, as if she couldn't wait to merge with it.
But just when she was about to touch the other party, she suddenly braked and her expression became surprised.
The "person in the mirror" in front of her also had He had blond hair, but it was short and only reached behind his ears. His facial lines were strong, his features were mature, his shoulders were broad and his legs were thick. He was obviously a man.
He looked at the negative side of the "primitive creator" who looked like Angel Granger with an indifferent look. His eyes were emotionless, as if he was looking at an object.
Most of the latter's power was sealed in the Western Continent. It only appeared because of the birth of the "special mirror world". Under the long-term suppression of the "original witch" Chick, his intelligence was insufficient. He only grew rapidly in the real dream. The negative side of the "primitive creator" who looked and felt like a real girl at the moment was inside... I felt a little aggrieved.
Why?
Angel Granger is a real woman, but the person in the mirror after she drank the "witch" potion is a man?
I vaguely remember that I had a certain degree of fusion with her in reality, but such a fatal mistake occurred in the dream?
No wonder the one who controlled the "Chaos Sea" did not place the hope of resurrection in this dream...
If this was in reality, He could still make a second choice and forcefully merge with the "person in the mirror" in front of Him. Although the gender is wrong, this is not a problem after truly merging the feminine and masculine sides.
Unfortunately, in reality, He had already initially merged with "Angel Granger". Everything in the dream was just symbolic behavior. He couldn't wait to appear, but found that the person in the mirror waiting for fusion was a man, which was a complete failure.
Those who broke into the dream did not stop it because they had expected it... The thought of "doubt" kept coming up in His mind, and he quickly answered it himself, but a certain strange emotion still filled his heart.
That was the "disappointment" that only humans have, an emotion that He had never experienced before, and that He felt in the dream after the initial fusion with Angel Granger.
But this is not "despair". His attempt failed this time, but the spiritual imprints that exist in all extraordinary characteristics, uniqueness, and even source quality will not dissipate. The final aggregation will begin sooner or later, no matter if it takes ten thousand years or one hundred million years.
The power of "the original" slowly dissipated, and the aggrieved expression on the face of "Angel" floating in the depths of the mirror world faded, and turned back to a blank and sluggish look. A golden light flashed in the purple eyes, blending with the original background color to become a gradient dark gray, and the light golden hair slowly blended into a trace of gray and black.
Gradually, He turned back into a naked, elegant statue, a statue consistent with the uniqueness of the "witch".
This is the symbol of the negative side of the "original creator" in the real dream. Although He merged into Angel Granger's body through a "doomsday" characteristic, in the entire witch path, the uniqueness that controls the authority of "negativity" and "chaos" is the part that has the most spiritual imprints of Him. Even if the "original witch" has contained it for thousands of years, it cannot make Him completely dissipate, especially after the original negative side awakens to a certain extent.
After Angel contained the uniqueness and fell asleep, He naturally appeared in the dream in this image.
…
At the same time, Chick, who had returned home after being frightened by "Angel at Night", also became dazed. Although she was equally beautiful, her face, which was different in temperament and image from Angel, began to move closer to him.
Soon, Chick, with black hair and blue eyes, became 80% similar to Angel, like a pair of twin sisters, but still retained her own hair color, eye color and other characteristics.
She sat on a single sofa in a daze, looking at the sky outside the window that had completely darkened, as if waiting for a certain moment to come.
In the distant horizon, the stars and the moon gradually extinguished, and the real darkness enveloped the entire city, dragging it into the deep mirror world.
————
In the dark supermarket, a black cat slowly walked out of the darkness and came to the feet of Angel, who had just opened his eyes and was holding an empty "Witch" drink bottle in his hand.
Its body suddenly became taller and larger, expanding like a balloon, and turned into the appearance of Sherlock Moriarty. Its eyes rolled and its expression became lively.
Klein exchanged positions with this secret doll.
Then, he heard the sound of glass breaking outside the supermarket, which gradually became clearer as it got closer.
"Is that the sound of the city collapsing in the dream?"
Klein smiled and asked Angel.
The latter nodded slowly and smiled as well.
That smile was different from the innocent smile that Klein had seen in the past few days in his dream. It was the smile that was in his deepest memory and made him feel at ease from the bottom of his heart.
"Welcome back,"
he said softly, stretching out his arms and hugging Angel Granger.
